You know about AI agent frameworks, but understanding how they work and applying them in practice can be difficult, right? Drawing on firsthand experience from Silicon Valley, we’ll guide you from the core principles to practical applications.

This course explores microservice architecture and distributed environments not as a simple list of technologies, but from the “design perspective” required in real-world practice and technical interviews. Starting with the differences between monolithic architectures and MSA, it systematically covers gradual migration strategies, modular monoliths, clean architecture, and hexagonal architecture, clearly explaining why each choice is necessary and the trade-offs that come with it. Through hands-on exercises, you can directly verify the intentions behind each structure and learn about the core challenges inevitably encountered in distributed environments—such as data consistency, transactions, inter-service communication, and failure handling—through realistic scenarios. Based on actual questions and perspectives from Kakao interviewers, this course aims to do more than impart knowledge: it seeks to elevate your way of thinking about distributed systems to the next level.

Learn the process of building essential observability in a microservices architecture (MSA) environment, from the basics to hands-on practice. Through step-by-step exercises, you will learn standardized data collection using OpenTelemetry, trace storage and search with Grafana Tempo, and visualization using TraceQL. You will also learn how to trace service flows through distributed tracing, identify bottlenecks, and analyze the causes of failures.

A Redis course created with a current Kakao interviewer. From hands-on practice with data structures ranging from String to Sorted Set to Sentinel and cluster configuration, you’ll build design rationale that holds up in interviews and real-world work.

This course is a master class that teaches Kotlin's 🌺 Coroutine, covering everything from theoretical foundations to practical application in a standard manner. It systematically covers core principles and structure, the necessity of asynchronous programming, Coroutine builders and scopes, exception handling, channels, Flow, and other key features frequently used in practice, step by step. Each concept is explained with hands-on examples, making it easy for beginners to understand and immediately apply them. This is the best introductory and practical course for developers who want to build strong Coroutine skills for real-world use.

Develop a scalable real-time WebSocket chat server capable of handling high traffic by building a 3-instance cluster with Spring Boot 3.x and Kotlin, utilizing Redis Pub/Sub for distributed messaging and Nginx as a load balancer.

Kotlin mastery via virtual payment server course.

Systematically learn the distributed NoSQL database Cassandra, from basic concepts to practical application. Develop high-volume data processing capabilities through practice-oriented theory and hands-on exercises, including data modeling, query optimization, and cluster configuration. Even without prior database experience, you can grow into a Cassandra expert based on the know-how of a current Silicon Valley developer.

From the fundamentals of MySQL usage to the advanced techniques required in real-world service environments, you will learn progressively. The course also covers a wide range of topics, including data modeling techniques based on various cases and practical data, evaluating the effectiveness of Foreign Key design, analyzing the Google Calendar schema DDL, and modern DDL design principles. It provides an in-depth understanding of how to use MySQL as a core component of a system, rather than merely as a database.

It was created to solve the problem of “not knowing where or how to start with Kubernetes.” Based on hands-on experience gained from operating financial infrastructure, it is structured to help learners understand Kubernetes by following the actual process of building and operating it, rather than focusing on theory alone. Through a learning progression covering its relationship with Docker, YAML, Pods, Deployments, and Services, learners will internalize Kubernetes not as a “concept,” but as a “usable technology.”

This course goes beyond teaching Docker as merely a set of tools and approaches it from the perspective of solving the concerns and problems you will actually encounter in the field. It explains, based on firsthand experience operating financial infrastructure in the industry, everything from unpredictable errors caused by differences between development and production environments, and configuration mistakes stemming from vague concepts of images and containers, to the anxiety of wondering, “How much do I need to know for this to be useful in practice?” Rather than simply listing commands, the course focuses on real-world examples to explain why this structure is necessary, how to design images for easier maintenance, and how to manage containers to operate services reliably. In particular, it places greater emphasis on hands-on practice than theory, with the goal of helping students understand Docker visually and master it through practice—not merely reaching the level of “knowing how to use Docker,” but understanding it from an operational perspective. This course provides practical standards and direction for those encountering Docker for the first time, those who have used it but have not yet organized their understanding of the concepts, and developers who want to take their infrastructure skills to the next level.

This course covers how to set up multi-module projects from scratch using Kotlin and Spring Boot. It proceeds with a hands-on approach, covering everything from the basic concepts of modularization to Gradle configuration, managing dependencies between modules, and actual application development. If you are a beginner or intermediate developer looking to learn the fundamentals and practical application of multi-modules, please refer to this course.

Learn how to build data pipelines with Apache Airflow, from the basics to real-world applications. Understand Airflow’s core concepts and architecture, and practice advanced design patterns frequently used in the field, including dynamic DAGs, parallel processing, distributed processing, and Custom Operators. Set up a hands-on environment with Python and Docker, design and operate real-world workflows, and develop practical skills for production use.

When you find yourself constantly updating Swagger documentation, aligning API specs, and repeatedly communicating with the frontend, you start to wonder, "Why am I doing the same thing twice?" I also felt similar frustrations in my professional experience, which led me to use GraphQL extensively and develop an interest in data-centric design. This course goes beyond simple GraphQL syntax; it explores the real-world problems it was created to solve, along with practical considerations like Resolver structures, the N+1 problem, and Federation. I've structured this course to help you naturally learn how to reduce communication costs between developers and design more flexible API structures.

This course goes beyond basic CRUD-level database usage, helping you develop the PostgreSQL skills needed in the AI era from a practical, real-world perspective. Drawing on AI development experience in Silicon Valley, you’ll gradually learn how to design and use JSON, indexes, transactions, and pgvector in actual services, while gaining the skills to solve complex data structure and performance problems.

The biggest challenges when operating a batch system that processes millions of records are performance degradation and the difficulty of recovery when failures occur. Simple loops or poor design cannot solve these problems. In this course, based on experience handling large volumes of data reliably in real-world service environments, you will learn the architecture and operating principles of Spring Batch, along with design methods that achieve both performance and stability. Going beyond a simple explanation of its features, this course helps you develop fundamental problem-solving skills for data processing through practical batch architectures that can be applied directly in the workplace.
